The resolution celebrates the 100th anniversary of Lester Memorial Methodist Church, which will be observed in April 2024. It highlights the church's historical significance in the Oneonta community, tracing its origins back to the late 1800s with the establishment of the First Methodist Episcopal Church in 1887. The resolution details the church's evolution, including the construction of the original "Little Brick Church" in 1913, the replacement of that structure with the current Sanctuary in 1923, and the unification of various Methodist congregations in 1938. It also notes significant expansions and renovations over the years, including the addition of educational facilities and the establishment of community programs such as a kindergarten and daycare.

Additionally, the resolution acknowledges the church's adaptability and growth, particularly in response to changing community needs and worship styles, including the introduction of contemporary services in the 1980s. It mentions the church's recent transition in 2022, when the congregation voted to disaffiliate from The United Methodist Church and join the Global Methodist Church in 2023. The resolution concludes with a formal recognition of the church's centennial milestone and expresses warm wishes for its continued success and community service.
